MedOp vs AI Overlays & Scribes

The scribe is free now. The system is the product.

Standalone AI scribes and “AI layers” convert speech into notes and push them into somebody else’s record. The category grew fast — ambient documentation was roughly a $600 million market in 2025 — and is now being absorbed: the major EHRs bundle a scribe at no additional charge, one is given away free, and the leading standalone sells at $39 a month. Overlays that go beyond the note depend on the host EHR’s API terms, which in at least one widely used suite prohibit replicating its core products and allow termination on 90 days’ notice.

Feature-by-feature comparison

Capability	MedOp	AI Overlays & Scribes
Scope	The whole practice: scheduling, charting, coding, claims, e-prescribing, portal, payments, engagement	Documentation, and in some products coding suggestions; everything else stays manual or in another tool
Dependence on a host EHR	None — MedOp is the record	Total — subject to the host’s API terms, fees and termination rights
Practice context	Agents retrieve from this practice’s payer contracts, past won appeals and rejected drafts; learn from feedback; route to a human at low confidence	Generally stateless per encounter; practice-specific learning not documented
Audit and governance	Tamper-evident PHI audit chain, per-agent kill switches, approval inbox, cost attribution enforced in CI	Varies; typically an audit log of note generation only
Price of the scribe	$0 — included and unlimited for every clinician	$0–$39+ per clinician per month, or bundled by the host EHR
Pricing model	Published: a flat $99 per provider per month at every practice size, everything included; AI Workforce metered per completed unit of work with $75 per provider included and a hard cap you set; 0% platform fee on payments — the practice keeps its own merchant account and rate	Subscription plus metered add-ons is the category norm — per claim, per statement, per text, per e-prescriber, per telehealth seat — and card processing resold at a markup

Why practices choose MedOp

MedOp used to describe itself as an AI layer that runs alongside your EHR. It no longer does, because the market made that pitch a commodity and the platforms made it terminable. MedOp is a system of record with the AI workforce built in: the scribe is unlimited and never metered, and the agents that do labour — calls, prior auths, appeals, recall — run against the practice’s own record, payer contracts and history, under calibrated confidence and human approval.

Common questions

If scribes are free, why does MedOp lead with its agents at all?

It does not — it leads with one patient record across every line a practice runs, and with the specialty mechanics enforced from the chart. The agents matter because they do labour a practice would otherwise pay a person for, and they are billed that way: per completed unit of work, in dollars, with a cap you set.

Can I keep my scribe and use MedOp?

You will not need to; the ambient scribe is built in and unlimited. If you have a contract to run out, MedOp accepts dictated or pasted notes into the same chart.
